Answer: North America, the third-largest continent, extends from the tiny Aleutian Islands in the northwest to the Isthmus of Panama in the south. The continent includes the enormous island of Greenland in the northeast and the small island countries and territories that dot the Caribbean Sea and western North Atlantic Ocean. In the far north, the continent stretches halfway around the world, from Greenland to the Aleutians. But at Panama’s narrowest part, the continent is just 50 kilometers (31 miles) across.
North America’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.
North America can be divided into five physical regions: the mountainous west, the Great Plains, the Canadian Shield, the varied eastern region, and the Caribbean. Mexico and Central America’s western coast are connected to the mountainous west, while its lowlands and coastal plains extend into the eastern region.
Within these regions are all the major types of biomes in the world. A biome is a community of animals and plants spreading over an extensive area with a relatively uniform climate. Some diverse biomes represented in North America include desert, grassland, tundra, and coral reefs.
Western Region
Young mountains rise in the west. The most familiar of these mountains are probably the Rockies, North America’s largest chain. The Rockies stretch from the province of British Columbia, Canada, to the U.S. state of New Mexico.
The Rocky Mountains are part of a system of parallel mountain ranges known as the Cordilleras. A cordillera is a long series of mountain ranges. Although cordilleras exist all over the world, in North America, “the Cordilleras” indicate the massive mountain ranges in the western part of the continent. The Cordilleras extend from Canada all the way to the Isthmus of Panama.
The Sierra Madre mountain system is part of the Cordilleras. The Sierra Madre stretch from the southwestern United States to Honduras. The Sierra Madre include many high volcanoes (up to 5,636 meters, or 18,500 feet) that stretch across Mexico south of the cities of Guadalajara and Mexico City.
Volcanic mountain ranges in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama are also considered part of the Cordilleras. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur frequently in this region. Volcanic activity can destroy towns and cities. It also contributes to the rich, fertile soils of the region.
Some of the Earth’s youngest mountains are in the Cascade Range of the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, and California. Some peaks began to form only about a million years ago—a blink of an eye in Earth’s long history. The mountains include temperate rain forest—a biome unique to the area. The temperate rain forest receives an incredible amount of precipitation, between 254 to 508 centimeters (100 to 200 inches) annually. However, its cool winters and mild summers promote the growth of mosses, ferns, fungi, and lichens
The temperate rain forest supports a wide variety of life. The Sitka spruce, western red cedar, and Douglas fir are trees native to North America’s temperate rain forest. Some of these trees grow to more than 90 meters (300 feet) tall and 3 meters (10 feet) in diameter. Black bears, Roosevelt elk, and marmots are indigenous animal species.
The three major desert regions of North America—the Sonoran, Mojave, and Chihuahuan—are all in the American southwest and northern Mexico. These large deserts are located in the rain shadows of nearby mountains. The mountains block precipitation and accelerate the movement of hot, dry wind over these regions. The Sonoran is in the rain shadow of the Coast Ranges, the Mojave is in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada, and the Chihuahuan is in the shadow of the Sierra Madre.
Notable desert plant species includes the saguaro cactus, Joshua tree, and mesquite. Animal species include the roadrunner, Gila monster, and rattlesnake.
In addition to mountains, deserts, and forests, the northern part of the western region of North America also has the richest deposits of oil and natural gas on the continent. Most of these deposits are located offshore, in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.

How did European exploration influence the distribution of natural resources?
European nations took resources from indigenous peoples.
Enslaved people in Africa fought back to control natural resources.
Leaders in South America began to control most of the world’s goods.
North American indigenous people rebelled and began to control most of the resources.
Leaders in South America began to control most of the world’s goods did European exploration influence the distribution of natural resources. Hence, option C is correct.
What are distributions of resources?The geographic location or spatial configuration of resources on earth is referred to as resource distribution. In other words, the location of the resources. Any given location could be rich in some resources that people want while being poor in others.
Because of the mechanisms through which they are formed, resources are concentrated in particular areas. For instance, various geologic processes contributed to the formation of fossil fuels found today. Each step took place in a distinct setting with particular circumstances.
Natural resource distribution is influenced by a variety of physical aspects, including topography, climate, and altitude. These elements differ from location to place on earth and are not universal.
Thus, option C is correct.

1 A THOUSAND heads hath Puruṣa, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet.
On every side pervading earth he fills a space ten fingers wide.
2 This Puruṣa is all that yet hath been and all that is to be;
The Lord of Immortality which waxes greater still by food.
3 So mighty is his greatness; yea, greater than this is Puruṣa.
All creatures are one-fourth of him, three-fourths eternal life in heaven.
4 With three-fourths Puruṣa went up: one-fourth of him again was here.
Thence he strode out to every side over what cats not and what cats.
5 From him Virāj was born; again Puruṣa from Virāj was born.
As soon as he was born he spread eastward and westward o’er the earth.
6 When Gods prepared the sacrifice with Puruṣa as their offering,
Its oil was spring, the holy gift was autumn; summer was the wood.
7 They balmed as victim on the grass Puruṣa born in earliest time.
With him the Deities and all Sādhyas and Ṛṣis sacrificed.
8 From that great general sacrifice the dripping fat was gathered up.
He formed the creatures of-the air, and animals both wild and tame.
9 From that great general sacrifice Ṛcas and Sāma-hymns were born:
Therefrom were spells and charms produced; the Yajus had its birth from it.
10 From it were horses born, from it all cattle with two rows of teeth:
From it were generated kine, from it the goats and sheep were born.
11 When they divided Puruṣa how many portions did they make?
What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet?
12 The Brahman was his mouth, of both his arms was the Rājanya made.
His thighs became the Vaiśya, from his feet the Śūdra was produced.
13 The Moon was gendered from his mind, and from his eye the Sun had birth;
Indra and Agni from his mouth were born, and Vāyu from his breath.
14 Forth from his navel came mid-air the sky was fashioned from his head
Earth from his feet, and from his car the regions. Thus they formed the worlds.
15 Seven fencing-sticks had he, thrice seven layers of fuel were prepared,
When the Gods, offering sacrifice, bound, as their victim, Puruṣa.
16 Gods, sacrificing, sacrificed the victim these were the earliest holy ordinances.
The Mighty Ones attained the height of heaven, there where the Sādhyas, Gods of old, are dwelling.

Read 1 Kings 18:42-45. Write a paragraph (no less than 150 words) describing the actions of Elijah's servant and tell what you think his feelings were and how they may have changed through his experience with Elijah on the top of Mount Carmel. Illustrate how that can apply to you today.
Answer:
It is likely that Elijah's servant was feeling cheated at first and was annoyed by Elias' insistence, but after the rain came down, his feelings changed and he began to see Elias as a great leader and a man of God.
Explanation:
This question refers to the biblical reading present in 1 Kings 18: 42-45, where Elijah had prophesied that it would rain in the region that had not rained for a long time. However, Elijah had spoken to God and had faith that the rain would come.
For this reason, he caused his servant to go up a hill, look towards the sea and see if there were any clouds as a sign of Rain. In doing so the servant reports that the sky is clear and that there is no sign that it will rain.
Then Elijah orders him to go up seven more times, which may have upset the servant and may have stimulated thoughts that he was being deceived by Elijah. However, after climbing seven times, the servant claims that the sky has a small cloud, the size of a man's hand. So Elijah says that this is the sign that it is going to rain.
The servant must have thought that Elijah was crazy, but after a few minutes it started raining with vigorous worms, which must have changed the servant's feelings towards Elijah, who was now seen as a man of God, prophet and leader.

Shinto and Buddhism are the two most common religions practiced in Japan. Over the years, borrowing has occurred between the two religions. You will write a two-paragraph summary about Shinto and Buddhism. Your first paragraph should address Shinto, and the second paragraph should address Buddhism. Within both paragraphs, address the following points:
When did the religion originate?
How is the religion practiced?
Does the religion have a deity or gods? If so, what are they called?
Answer:
Explanation:
Shinto and Buddhism are Japan's two major religions. Shinto is as old as the Japanese culture, while Buddhism was imported from the mainland in the 6th century. Since then, the two religions have been co-existing relatively harmoniously and have even complemented each other to a certain degree. Most Japanese consider themselves Buddhist, Shintoist or both.
Religion does not play a big role in the everyday life of most Japanese people today. The average person typically follows the religious rituals at ceremonies like birth, weddings and funerals, may visit a shrine or temple on New Year and participates at local festivals (matsuri), most of which have a religious background.

If you are stuck, you can think about the following topics: textile mills, interchangeable parts, the Lowell System, unions, labor reform, steamboats, railroads, coal, the telegraph, and/or new inventions.
Answer:
The most obvious effects of the Industrial Revolution were the vast increase in trade. The huge quantities of goods produced by the new methods demanded correspondingly large markets and supplies of raw materials. The markets were provided partly by the growth in population which resulted from the developments in medicine, but much more by the new means of transport, by which raw materials and finished goods could be moved easily and cheaply over the width of the world. All countries were webbed with railway networks, and the seas became populous with shipping. And to finance this trade, there was a development of banking almost out of recognition. The bankers, the master of credit, became one of the key-men in modern society.
Other effects of the Industrial Revolution was that distance land became more and more dependent on one another. For E.g, England demanding wool from Australia, cotton from America, oil from Persia, and paying for these goods with its manufactures.
Further, cheap transport made possible, too a much greater localization of industry. A producer no longer needed to be close to his market. He could pitch his factory wherever he could operate it most cheaply. As a result, we can see the concentration of industries in special areas, like the English midlands or the German Ruhr. Thus, there was a growth of enormous cities which are characteristics of the present age.
